One Night in Madrid

 

Wednesday

# I am not supposed to get it all right

# I am not supposed to have all the answers

# I am not supposed to please everyone

# Hell, I am supposed to disappoint some, especially the ones that don't have space for who I am in their minds & world

# Feeling good about myself is worth all the effort it takes

# I can give myself a break

# I should do things that I love

# Yes, I am made to feel joy in my bones & have it rush through my heart

# It is for me to feel worthy of being here

& here

& here

# I deserve my own compassion

# watch the wind makes the leaves dance

# look for wildflowers & not for weeds

 

The Good Stuff

I know that I am loved

equally on the days I thrive

& the days I survive

I welcome the experience that comes my way

by keeping my head up high, hydrating my body and my mind. 

I make space for life to surprise me with all the good stuff.

I don't just wait for it to happen. 

I go find it. 

& I'm often surprised along the way. 

 

For a Happy Life:

* Make sure one of the paths in your life leads to the beach

* Let your heart hope & dream & love

* See your age as a gift & not a curse

* Learn to love your alone time

* Be honest with yourself

* On some days a table full of salad & hamburgers

* Turn the page you are stuck on

* Expand the story

*Make space for happy in your life

* Walk barefoot wherever & whenever you can

* Make space for happy in your heart

 

I Found My Wings

Really, we are all angels in disguise realizing our wings, our love and our freedom. 

 

I think we stumble across each other's paths for a reason. I know it's sacred, and that makes every encounter sacred. There's a beautiful reason for it all. When you bump into someone on the road you walk you can become the beautiful reason for that smile that appears on their face or the light in their eyes that flashes out of nowhere because they have felt your kindness. Sometimes it takes an angel to bring out the angel in another. Never think your kindness goes to waste. It waters the wings of those that don't yet realize they have them. 
 

 We angels, realized and unrealized are all in this together. 

Lorca

"You are not supposed to carry it all"

* I wish I had heard those words when I was younger.
